Here I am!



I figured it's time to follow up on the Jill Pilon class. Wowzers was it fantastic! Jill is a true inspiration and a natural teacher, (being a mom to three children likely helps).

The painting above is simply my sample board from the class. To me it's a great painting in its own right. Jill encourages experimentation, curiosity, pushing of comfort zones and accepting happy accidents. The freedom, permission and sense of accomplishment I felt after attending her class is a testament to her supportive nature.

I'm hungrily reworking my on-going ultrasound paintings with a revived urban edge and some of that raw expression I've been craving to express. Feelin' good... and frankly lookin' good! I'll post one of them soon.

Making Allies

It all started back in the Spring… I was contact by a start-up online option to buying and renting art. No fees up front. Standard commission. I joined.  ArtsAlly.com  officially launched last month. Today I received a few txts from friends congratulating me on my up & coming "hot, local artist" status. Turns out vancitybuz z featured the site and all its artists…including yours truly (#17)! Needless to say I'M PRETTY PUMPED ABOUT THAT.  Please give it a read & pass the sets to your pals. Cheers ArtAlly; I wish you a successful life! OK, I gotta go now and start making more great art. Hopefully I'll move up to #1 ; ) Keep creating! ~ Kathryn

Strutting Creativity

Last night I was fortunate to attend the Museum of Vancouver's opening of Fox, Fluevog & Friends . It's a retrospective of Vancouver's own Fluevog phenomenon. However, I'd like to talk about not what I saw at the exhibit, but rather what I felt: I felt energized. To me, the exhibit celebrates Creativity Expressed. Creating from that deep place of need. Expressing that need like two new lovers in lust - exploding and spilling over with raw, unbridled energy. To me, that is LIVING. Experiences like that reenergize my own creativity. I came home jazzed up with new ideas as well as a "solution" to a block I was having with a painting. I couldn't wait to get into my own stuff. Cheers to both the MOV and those who inspired the exhibit. I encourage you to check it out and celebrate these locals who daily strut their creativity.
